So ice axe and crampons for safe crossing?
Or can you go around by chance?

You can get across nicely without. But it's easier to go at the start on snow far right 5 meters and past those little rocks. On the left side there's snow all the way to smooth rocks.

On 21.9.2018. The day was supposed to be nice. This time the forecast held. First time I hiked these Vrban Spires. I wasn't rushing. Quite leisurely from Kot. And I met almost no one. Lojze Rekar path is really nicely routed. You walk from one peak to another. Self-belay kit would be useful at least on exposed parts. I continued to Stanič hut and then to the starting point in Kot valley. Also mention the part from Kot where the path is very slippery and caution is needed not to slip. Lots of roots and slippery stones on the path. And wet muddy ground.
Thirst taken care of1

From Kot valley over Vrban Spires on Saturday 13.10. Actually we agreed the previous evening rather quickly and decided for Vrban on the way, because two haven't been there yet. Nada and I already have. And on Saturday such a nice day, pity to skip them. We had plenty of time. No rush at all. Rekar path is really nicely routed and worth hiking.
The colors are unfolding.1
In this part they installed a cable that facilitates the passage because the rocks are slippery.2
Some walking already behind us.3
Beginning of the Rekarjeva path.4
Very nicely laid out.5

Quite some climbing7

A self-belay kit is quite recommended.9

Two days ago on Lojze Rekar's path there was no more snow. But still down in Pekel (winter gear recommended for another week or so): https://bojanambrozic.com/2019/06/24/vrbanove-spice/

Yesterday over Vrban Spires.
Road to Kot is fine. Some traces of timber hauling here and there.
Path to Vrban Spires from the hut is o.k. Since last visit, the wire ropes before the stream delighted us (slanted rocks there that are usually wet too).
Path over Vrban Spires is well secured.
To Stanič for a beer and back to the valley.

The road to Lengarjev Rovt is drivable without problems despite potholes and the burden of forest machines. The path from Kot valley to Vrban Spires is well secured. Nevertheless, some caution is needed on slippery parts of the path on slopes below Macesnovec and Dimniki. Hiking and climbing with many ups and downs along the ridge does not leave the visitor unmoved. Views of the surroundings wonderful.

Thanks. Attaching another pic, don't know the flower's name. Looking at mountain flowers, I realize botanists and gardeners bred loads of perennials from them that we plant in gardens.

Silvo1952, in photo 35 it's probably the snow marmot and not the Triglav one. Both are found in the high mountains.

Maybe it's easier to determine if it's the Triglav marmot or the snow marmot by looking at both shots.
2019.08.10.234 either Triglav or snow marmot1
2019.08.10.235 ? Triglav or snow marmot2

Rosettes from which the flower sprouts are characteristic of the Triglav gentian, as seen on the attached photo. So it's the snow gentian.

I agree with Primož; climate change is taking them, but I think a huge part is also done by all those who always look for shortcuts, some racetracks on scree where there's an equipped path. And the equipped one gets buried and we have a "find your way" path.

"In general, paths in the high mountains are slowly being taken by climate change."

can you elaborate on this statement or show the causation between climate change and the condition of high mountain paths.
which article or literature are you basing it on?
thanks

"In a sandbox you make a little path. Then you pour water on it drop by drop, or in quick splashes. Then you see when the little path collapses."

scree are not rocks.

"Another thing that affects is warmer winters and more melting. This bursts rocks. Because there's more freezing of water in cracks."

mechanical weathering could be a reason in your entire mess - one of many; given that, say, the earth's crust shakes every now and then, how do you know that the effect of climate change is higher than a regular earthquake? why didn't you mention earthquakes and the other 1001 reasons for worse path conditions?
because it's easiest to get likes through #ECO nowadays and pump your ego that way, or are you so ignorant that you don't see other reasons?

and the composition of Appalachians and Julians is different. you can't extrapolate an article about apples to pears.
do you actually have any source on the impact of climate change on the condition of Slovenian paths, or are you just pulling crap out of your ass?
